Quick filler post while I prepare for our family spring trip back to Japan.

My… yearly coordinate post😂. First and maybe last of 2018 😂. It is really because the danna was helping out every day with the kids, cooking and housework in the apartment that I get to play dress up… a little. People who think that I look like this every can’t be more wrong 😂. I usually go pick cheesiepetits up from school in Singapore in my pajamas hahaha.

We were in Gold Coast last year and the heat was insane. This year we postponed our trip and it was perfectly warm and breezy in the day and cooling at night! Also the easiest weather to coordinate your outfits. Winters are always disastrous for me.read more

After one whole month of working without a single off day during CNY rush, the danna decided that he want to just chill the heck out at the beach for two whole weeks, so we traveled to his favorite surf spot – Gold Coast.

Junya has started liking the beach very much. Last month he told the danna, “papa, I want to go beach.” And immediately the danna’s eye lit up, and he went online to book last minute flight, that was how we all ended up in Bali suddenly.read more

I was never trained to be an outdoor person (i hate the sun >.<), but coming to Australia makes me slightly envious of how people here can just chill by the beach or park or go on a skateboard or scooter or surfboard and look like they have the whole world and want nothing else.read more

So the danna and i are spending two weeks in Australia as we come here annually in February mainly for surfing (him) and relaxing (me).

The first night we arrived in Brisbane, we checked in to a motel near the airport where we spent 30 minutes murdering mosquitoes on the ceiling. (After that we had to wear our shoes in the room as it was quite hard to walk around without accidentally stepping on insect corpses.)

The second day, we drove to Gold Coast and checked into one of the best accommodations during our trip so far: QT Gold Coast Hotel at Surfer’s Paradise. We only planned on staying a night in Surfer’s Paradise but the room was so awesome we decided to extend another night!read more

I was reading some old travel entries and i was quite surprised to realize that i’ve actually written so much about Australia. Besides Japan, i have probably done the most variety of activities in Australia, and every time was a pleasant surprise in a different city!

Let’s do a review and count them, shall we?

Warning: most of the pictures contain me. To kind of prove that they are real pictures, and not taken off an e-calendar. Because you probably would suspect so, with certain scenery.read more
